Well, you'd hate to create a .patch file changing the position of the field. I do plan on making an update where you can move it around wherever you want (it'll be OSB only) - but for now, you can wait for it :)

How difficult would it be to add custom buffer space to the in-game configuration? I use Bk3k's hotbar skin that puts it at the bottom left edge of the screen, which is right on top of this chat interface.

I didn't even know which button to press

I mean, I wanted to read the popup at the start but it wasn't in english.

Do you have a starbound guide on this mod yet? On steam I mean...

When you install the mod, it will give you a popup message that you're supposed to read.

How do I even begin the chat? I press the keybind but nothing pops up, it just shows my character having three dots above it but I can't type anything. srry this mod is too difficult for me :(

There's a guide on the discord server, but I guess I should move it here too

how do you add custom avatars to the chat? Cuz when I copy the path to the file (61x61 pixel) I want to use it doesnt work and turns my avatar into a blank nothing what am i doing wrong

If you called it, like, "mysticker", you should type /mysticker in the chat, as if it was a command. It should pop up in the auto completion

How exactly do you send a sticker? I've added one, and it shows up in the menu, but I can't find any method to actually send it in chat.

I believe that by "custom clients" you mean xStarbound specifically. It was a bug on its side which should have been fixed in latest versions - you can contact FezzedOne for mode details

nvm its not just that silently sending messages is forced on, its just entirely broken on custom clients now.
i can send messages, but they wont have a chatbox and only players who dont have scc installed can see them

I don't understand the question.

soooooooooooooooooo, silently sending messages. how do you not?

Thank you for the praise 🙏
It does look like a bug, but for the best experience I would anyway recommend OpenStarbound. StarExtentions is somewhat depricated

Hi, this is the best interface mod I've ever seen!
However, I caught a bug. The bug is that when you minimize the chat, it may disappear at some point, so I can't hide it, even when it might be more convenient. This can only be solved by re-entering the location or server. Do you happen to know what the problem might be? I used the latest version of StarExtensions, based on the recommendations in the description.

For the context, the user below used the image path instead of a directive

I've sent you a friend request, and I don't think it'll let me message you until you accept

Weird! Works for me
You can also reach me directly on discord at @degranon

I have proof the discord link isn't working (at least for me): https://imgur.com/a/5dguLqB , and it's in the main pictures folder of my PC (C:\Users\[NAME]\Pictures)

No, the link to discord works - just checked.

What does your directive start with?

Quick question, how do I add a sticker? I'd ask it in your discord, but it seems the link is invalid. Every time I try to put in any form of the file directory in the "?directories" section, it comes up saying that the image size should not exceed 32 by 32. I tried with a 32x32 image, and then even with a 16x16 image, and neither of them worked.

You click on it

It doesn't side items that your scanning.

(also how do you shrink the chatbox? ^^;; I accidentally made it to tall)

As of SCC 1.9.x, support for xStarbound [github.com] v3.5.1+ has been added.

Same case as JoseR. Using OpenStarbound.

Same for me, doesn't hide inspect item messages. The server ones work fine as far as I can tell

Autohide needs to be enabled for these features

When using OpenStarbound, the 'Ignore server messages' and 'Ignore inspect item messages' options do not work.

Howdy!
I don't think it's worth it. Can't do it between other worlds, and within one you usually already have that indicator - the dots above the character :)

Hey Deg! Been a while, I've been using oSB with your mod and it's great! An idea just came to mind that could make it better if implemented. Do you think somehow you could create a "typing indicator" in the Starbound chatbox (not just over a given character), so people off-world know when others are typing? Like similar to how Discord's typing indicator works.
Lemme know what you think of this suggestion!

Also true
Anyway, the update is already up, you can see a new option on the Autohide config

Yeah but it's labelled as "server"

Well, it's because the inspecting messages does not come from the server - it's your messages

I have some ideas about custom chat size, but not sure when I can get to them. But I'll definitely look into the scanning text, thanks!

I wish there was a way to make the actual size of the chat square smaller
Also when i check "ignore server message" it still provide me with server message when i scan something

I've uploaded the fix for the crash, thank you! For the multiple windows, it's a known issue in SE - couldn't figure that one out yet. OSB doesn't have it, use it!

some times chat window open 2-3 times, and if you press chat setting button its crash game

And yes - if you're moving from SE to OSB, don't forget to enable the Begin Chat and Begin Chat command binds

OpenStarbound is now fully supported starting with version 1.8.0.

If you encounter any bugs, do let me know - preferably in Discord :)

bugs out all the time - either stops opening, or clones itself and starts flashing
Idk how to make it work properly ^^'

Thank you for the information!

If you unpack the mod, you'll find some built-in plugins (/interface/scripted/starcustomchat/plugins)

I do have some additional plugins on my discord server, the link in the description - an in-built translator and the live chat

There's also ChatGPT integration, but it's not in public yet

Thank you! I heard you have some sort of plugin system to add custom functionality? Where can I learn more about this?

Yup, I'm slowly working on it :)
Have to migrate a bunch of stuff

Good evening!

OpenStarbound might have just added the things you need!

https://github.com/OpenStarbound/OpenStarbound/releases/tag/v0.1.7

"added support for making the chat scriptable - doing so disables hardcoded behavior"

thankyou i finally got this thing working !!! for those whom didn't see an instruction AT ALL like me,it's because of your game window size .

Please read the instructions that appear in0game when you join carefully

the chatbox won't appear no matter what, wonder if it's beause im not an english native speaker and chinese keyboard somehow doesn't work with this
